Information Behaviour of Gifted Children - The Qualitative Study

The study focused on differences in information behaviour between intellectually gifted and average children in the pre- literate age. The main objective of the study was to examine how information behaviour, especially in the form of asking questions, is expressed in gifted children in the pre- literate age, and how it differs from information behaviour in children with average intellectual abilities. In order to meet the pre- literacy condition, participants were chosen from children starting their first year of school (aged 5 to 7). (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
